I feel a deep interest in our Merchant Marine. 
I would give every proper encouragement to our 
American boys to go to sea. I am hoping the time will 
come when our shipping under the American flag will 
be officered and manned by American citizens. Nothing 
will be more helpful to that end than for those charged 
with the duty of developing our sea service to take a 
direct personal interest in our seamen. 

They should be made to feel that the seafaring life 
is honorable and they should be encouraged to lead 
clean wholesome lives. Nothing will encourage them 
more than to know that we feel a personal interest in 
their welfare, and would protect them from unclean 
and vicious environment at home and abroad. 

This little volume has been prepared with great care 
by Mrs. Alice S. Howard, Chief of the Social Service 
Bureau, United States Merchant Marine, and her 
able and indefatigable assistant, Miss Mabel M. 
Barkley, and should be placed in the hands of the 
seamen on all our ships. Its value to them and our 
merchant marine service cannot be estimated. 

It gives me great pleasure to commend the Seaman's 
Handbook for Shore Leave. The auther and her 
collaborator are rendering the seamen a great service 
which I am sure will be repaid by a deep sense of 
gratitude.

PREFACE 



The Social Service Bureau of the United States 
Merchant Marine presents the second edition of the 
"Seaman's Handbook for Shore Leave" to merchant 
seamen in the hope that the material in it will prove of 
practical value to them in their sea service. 

The first edition of the Seaman's Handbook was 
published by this Bureau, at that time operating as 
the Social Service Bureau of the United States Shipping 
Board, Recruiting Service, to meet a need arising from 
the enrollment of thousands of men in the American 
Merchant Marine during the world war emergency. 
Great interest was shown in the first edition, and the 
favorable comment, which it aroused, coming as it did 
both from seamen and those who were interested in bet- 
tering conditions for them, strengthened our belief that 
subsequent editions would be of value and should be 
issued periodically. Replies to many questionnaires 
were received too late to be incorporated in the first 
edition, which was rushed to print in order that the 
material on hand might be available without undue 
delay. Since the date of its publication, much valuable 
information has accumulated, and there has been 
opportunity to correct and verify a great deal of the 
original material. 

This project was undertaken with the purpose of 
furnishing to seamen a practical guide, giving concise 
information about living quarters, amusements, and 
resources available to mariners who find themselves 
in distress in a strange country. In order to include 
as many ports as possible, and still keep the book of 
pocket size, the information about each port is of 
necessity condensed, and no attempt has been made 
to embrace the material which would be contained in 
a Tourists* Guide Book. The scope of the Handbook 
is limited, rather to material which is of especial interest 
to merchant sailors, including facts about seamen's 
homes, or other organizations having sleeping accom- 
modations and recreational facilities; location of 



American Consulates; possibilities for legal, medical, 
surgical and dental aid; laundry facilities; shipping 
agencies, (including U. S. Shipping Commissioners, 
Sea Service Bureaus of the U, S. Shipping Board, 
Union Headquarters, etc.); addresses of American 
Library Association Dispatch Offices in American 
ports; as well as places of amusement and local points 
of interest in so far as space permits. 

The present edition of the Handbook gives informa- 
tion about 325 sea ports, representing practically every 
country in the world, and we regret that, because of the 
inadequate information which we were able to obtain, 
we have been obliged to omit 100 additional ports with 
which we have also been in correspondence. 

It was decided, after numerous conferences with 
those experienced in work for seamen, to adopt the 
policy of omitting names of individuals and of directing 
seamen to organizations whose location is supposedly 
more permanent. This idea has been carried out with 
few exceptions. 

Our sources of information are reliable, so far as 
we can learn, and the organizations mentioned worthy 
of confidence, to the best of our knowledge and belief. 
We should esteem it a favor if anyone noting inac- 
curacies or misstatements in the publication would 
bring them to the attention of the Social Service 
Bureau. We should welcome also, any additional 
information or suggestions which will serve to increase 
the usefulness of the Handbook. 

It is quite impossible for us to make suitable recogni- 
tion of the assistance which has been derived from organi- 
zations and individuals throughout the world who have 
contributed material for the Seaman's Handbook. 
We owe an especial debt, however, to Champlin 
Burrage and Mabel M. Barkley for their untiring work 
in editing the first and second editions of this book 
respectively.

UNITED STATES PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE 
STATEMENT 

"The U. S. Public Health Service has as one of its 
duties the care and treatment of sick and disabled 
American seamen. Every one employed on a vessel 
flying the American flag is entitled to free treatment 
at the many hospitals and relief stations of the Public 
Health Service at American ports. This service also 
issues many pamphlets giving information about the 
, diseases of men and how to avoid them. The pam- 
phlets describing venereal diseases and their conse- 
quences are of especial value as the whole world is 
interested in this important public health question. 
You can get any of the pamphlets issued by the Public 
Health Service by writing a post card, addressed as 
follows: 'The Surgeon General, U. S. Public Health 
Service, Washington, D. C ". 



GENERAL STATEMENT FROM 

The International Committee of Young Men's 

Christian Associations. 

347 Madison Ave., New York City. 

"Wherever a United States merchant sailor finds a 
Young Men's Christian Association in any port, 
regardless of the fact that it may not be for merchant 
seamen only, he will, if makes himself known to the 
secretary in charge, be made welcome and afforded the 
use of the privileges of the Association in line with the 
practice of each local Young Men's Christian Associa- 
tion."
